Anoher double veil has the inner veil
embroidered In large dots and shirred
_ up to fit somewhat under the chin ,
while the outer veil flows free.
A curious trlclt-It's new too-is to

Lingerie Blouses.
I Lingerie blouses are to be worn the
f i Winter through with tailored coats and
iI.i , / skirts They are really indispensable
, ; )
{ , - for they are thin , taking up no room ,
and when mussed water and a hot Iron
restore them to an Immaculate cond1 ,
tlon. They are , however , as expensive
S as the more elaborate silk and crepe
bodices , as a greater number of them
are required ; but they are always
. . ' ' . . .J fresh and spotless , and thus delight
.
, the dainty woman. In cut they are almost -
most facsimiles of those worn during
the summer , save that heavier laces
_ are used , cluny , guipure and the lately
revived crepon being favorites. Those
laces are used as Insertion rather than
In appliques , and In many of these
blouses the lace is also elaborately embroidered -
; 1l broidered In floral designs In plumetls
r stitch. One such blouse has its crepon
r lace embroidered across the front In
/ chrysanthemums.

Hood for small Child.
Fashions for the wee ones arc as
exaggerated and varied as those of
their elders. In hoods there Is an
endless variety. An odd but pretty
model Is white faille , and It may be
readily copied at home. One piece of
silk makes the hood , and where It
joins a back Corms a decided point 011

edged with a tiny ruffle of plaited slllt ,
turns back from the face , and a deep

narrow rume of slllt , Is attached to

Pleasing Styles In Coats.
The short basque coats and coats of
moderato hip length will bo found
more generally becoming than the redingotes .
Ingotes , and while not so new , are
quite as fashionable. The short basque
coats are , of course , fitted snugly at
the waist and often belted 01' girdled ;
but though the general tendency Is
toward the coat fitted closely at back
and sides If not In front , the sack coat
has not disappeared and loosely fall-
Ing coat models are numerous.

Putting ground coffee to steep in
cold water the night before will bG
found to result In economy' and rich-
ness of flavor for the breakfast bever-
age. Enough coffee should be used
to allow one tablespomflll for every
cup and an extra one for the pot.
Sugar should be bought In small :
quantities as It dies and loses flavor
If kept ; raisins , currants and candled
peel will not keep long. Vinegar coon
loses Its flavor If kept , and so does
Lucca oU. MacaronI will not keep , and
spice , pepper and roasted coffee , too ,
soon deteriorate.

Charming New Collar.
Here's the dearest little new collar
just out-meant for a light silk blouse.
It's not morn than two or three Inches ,
deep and fits just around the turn !
of the throat. But the way It's made .
refuses to be set down In cold black I
and white letters. It Is frills and fluff ;
and tiny hints of roses and bits of' '
the sheerest laces joined together like
fairy work.

White hats lead for evening wear ,
touched delicately with silver or' gold

Electricity Kills Insects.

tlon of an apparatus for the destruction '

cntorplllars , the apparatus having , 1'0'
cl'nUy been presented to the Odessa
Technical society. Under a wagon ,
drawn by horses 01' run by nn alcohol
motor there Is placed n small dynamo.
This dynamo Is moved by a system of
gearing placed on the axle of the vehicle .
hlcle , the dynanw being connected
with an Induction coil In front of
which Is placed Wehnelt interrupter .

tlon coil Is connected with lie Iron
framework of the vehicle , that Is con-

Feeder for - Stock.
One of the disagreeable tasks ! In relation -
latlon to the care of horses , cows or
other cattle Is the necessity of arising
early und supplying , them with feed.
This Is especially true with mlllt dealers .
ers , bakers ! : and many others who are
compelled to get up all hour or two
before serving their route In order to
feed their horses. This Is also the
case on Sundays with all drivers of
team8. Automatic time stock feeders
are not new to the trades , by any
means , but few are ns simple as the
one shown In the llIustrntion. This
Is 20 constructed that the feed may be
,
Allows the Feed to Fall
automatically released at Il predeter-
mined moment by attachment to IIn
alarm clock and fed Into II trough or
manger.
A chute , through which the food Is
to be passed , Is shown In the illustration -
tlon , with . a hinged door at right an-
gles to the Inner wall thereof , the door
being connected with an arm which
projects through the wall of the chute.
This arm fs fastened to a spring held
to a pin In the outer wall or the chute.
A bracket supports a clock upon the
other side of the chute , the clock hav-
Ing Don alarm att chment. The key
which winds the alarm apparatus Is
connected to a sprln-lll'esscd ; bolt
I which Is mounted In the wall of the
chute and designed to support the
I hinged door when the same Is weighted -
ed down with food. As the clock runs
down the cord withdraws the bolt , and
when the proper time Is reached the
door Is released and the food falls
down to the mllnger. After the door
Is relieved of Its weight the spring
will cause it to resume Its normal 110'
sltlon. This would also he very useful
In large eBtaullshments.

Transplanting Bearing Apple Trees
Sub.-Whnt Is the bent time of year
to transplant apple trees that have 1
been bearing about four years ?
The best time to trnnslllant apple
trees la early In the spring , as soon
as the Roll Is dry eno\lgh. 1 fear , however -
ever , that to transplant apple trees
which have been bearing for four
years would not bo a very successful :
undertaking and 1 would not advise
doing so. It would he much better to
leave the trees where they are , even
If It were necessary to use the ground
about them for something else , and to
plantt young trees on the spot intended
for these bearing ones. If , however , It
Is determined to transplant tile trees
at any cost , the work should be very
carefully done und us many roots n:3
possible ) kept ) on. The trees should beheaded
headed back severely , at least twO )
years' growth being taken off all
round / the tree.-M.
Transplanting Rhubarb.
IJ , A. G.-What Is the best time to
transplant rhubarb which was grown
from seed fown : last spring ! ?
Rhubarb may be transplanted at
any time after the leaves lie ( down In
Ufo fall ; but with young seedlings I
should advise you to walt until spring
to move them. There Iii danger of
small roots being thrown above the J
ground by the action of frost : ! , and If
planted thin fall they might have to 110
set again In the spring. Prepare your
ground this full by plowing \ under well
retted ( manure ; or , HUll better , plow
out trenches four feel npart. Fill the
trenches to within six inches of the
top with manure , throw In two inches
of fine dirt and set the plants , having
them three feet apart In the rows.
Mulch each fall with manure , which
should he forked around / the plants
